Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of protective monitor technology, specifically to a protective monitor. Background Technology

[0002] Patient monitors are crucial medical devices used to monitor patients' vital signs and health status. They play a vital role in both hospital and home care settings. Monitors continuously monitor key vital signs such as heart rate, respiration, and blood pressure, helping healthcare professionals quickly detect abnormalities. Their role is indispensable, especially for critically ill and intensive care patients. Through real-time monitoring and alarm systems, monitors can alert doctors and nurses, ensuring patients receive timely treatment and maximizing survival rates.

[0003] Chinese patent application CN202122360943.8 discloses a novel, highly reliable, and protective electrocardiogram (ECG) monitor, comprising a protective mechanism, a monitor body, and a shock-absorbing mechanism. The monitor body is disposed inside the protective mechanism, and the shock-absorbing mechanism is installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the protective mechanism. The protective mechanism includes a protective shell, four support legs, two mounting slots, two connecting springs, two sliding rods, and a protective cover. The four support legs are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the protective shell, and the two mounting slots are symmetrically located on both sides of the top of the protective shell. This invention, through the cooperation of the protective mechanism, the monitor body, and the shock-absorbing mechanism, achieves a novel, highly reliable, and protective ECG monitor, providing multi-directional protection against damage caused by external impacts, thereby significantly extending the lifespan of the ECG monitor. While this design provides comprehensive protection for the ECG monitor, preventing damage from external impacts and significantly extending its lifespan, it also presents a challenge. When the monitor is placed inside the device and subjected to bumps or vibrations, its own weight will first push the shock-absorbing plate and column, compressing the spring, and then bounce back. Repeated cycles of this process, when the frequency of external vibrations approaches that of the external vibrations, can cause resonance, resulting in the monitor shaking inside the device and potentially damaging it. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a monitor with protective functions to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution: The present invention is a protective monitor, including a monitor and a first airbag. The first airbag is installed on the outer wall of one end of the monitor, and the monitor is provided with a slot at each of the four corners. A housing is installed on the outer wall of the end of the monitor away from the first airbag, and a foam pad for cushioning the monitor is installed between the inner wall of the housing and the outer wall of the monitor. Rubber plates are installed on the inner sides of the four corners of the outer casing, and the outer casing is snapped into the slot of the monitor through the rubber plates; A second airbag is installed on the inner wall of the outer shell. An inflation hole is connected to the outer wall of the second airbag. A plug is installed on the inner wall of the inflation hole. One-way valves are installed on the outer walls of the second airbag. Two of the one-way valves are connected to a second air pipe for exhaust and heat dissipation at the ends away from the second airbag, and the other two one-way valves are connected to a first air pipe for inflating the first airbag at the ends away from the second airbag. The purpose of the above setup is to install the first airbag at one end near the monitor screen, and then install one end of the monitor inside the outer casing. During installation, the monitor's slot needs to be aligned and engaged with the rubber plate inside the casing. After installation, the foam pad is positioned between the outer wall of the monitor and the inner wall of the casing, providing cushioning for the outer wall of the monitor's end. Simultaneously, during insertion, the first airbag's cannula needs to be connected to the first air tube. During this process, one end of the monitor will compress the second airbag. Before use, the second airbag has been inflated through the inflation port, and the port is sealed with a plug. When the second airbag is compressed, the internal gas is discharged through one-way valves. Two of these one-way valves discharge through the second air tube to dissipate heat from the monitor, while the other two one-way valves inflate the first airbag through the first air tube. After inflation, the first airbag expands, protecting the end of the monitor. During this process, the one-way valves ensure unidirectional gas flow, preventing backflow.

[0006] Furthermore, the first airbag wraps around one end of the outer wall of the monitor, and the outer wall of the first airbag is connected to an intubation tube. The first airbag is connected to the first trachea through the intubation tube. The purpose of the above setup is that when the second airbag is squeezed, the gas inside is discharged through the one-way valve. The two one-way valves inflate the first airbag through the first trachea and the intubation tube. After the first airbag is inflated with gas, it expands to protect the end of the monitor.

[0007] Furthermore, four foam pads are provided, and the four foam pads are distributed between the outer wall of the monitor and the inner wall of the outer shell; The purpose of the above design is that when the monitor is about to be impacted, the outer casing is impacted first, and then the outer casing is squeezed against the foam pad. During this process, the foam pad buffers and absorbs the impact on the outer casing, thereby protecting the monitor.

[0008] Furthermore, the foam pad has several through holes on its outer perimeter. The purpose of the above configuration is that when the second airbag is compressed, the internal gas is discharged through the one-way valve, and the two one-way valves are discharged through the second air tube. When the monitor is being cooled, the through holes facilitate airflow through the foam pad and heat exchange with the outer wall of the monitor.

[0009] Furthermore, the middle part of the outer shell and foam pad is set as a hollow structure for the cable of the monitor to pass through; The purpose of the above design is that existing monitors usually have an interface on the back for connecting external cables, and this hollow structure allows the monitor's cables to pass through.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer walls on both sides of the rubber sheet are respectively provided with pleats to facilitate the deformation of the rubber sheet, and the rubber sheet is made of rubber. The purpose of the above design is that when the monitor is about to be impacted, the outer casing is impacted first, and then the outer casing is squeezed against the foam pad. The rubber plate is always in a snap-fit ​​installation state with the monitor's slot. The grooves of the rubber plate make it easy for the rubber plate to adapt to the compression of the foam pad, thereby causing the rubber plate to deform. The rubber material enhances the durability and deformation capacity of the rubber plate.

[0011] Furthermore, one end of the second air tube is provided with a plurality of air outlets, and the plurality of air outlets face the foam pad. The purpose of the above setup is that when the second airbag is compressed, the gas inside is discharged through the one-way valves. Two of the one-way valves discharge the gas through the second air pipe and several air outlets. The airflow passes through the foam pad and dissipates heat from the monitor through the holes in the foam pad.

[0012] Furthermore, the one-way valve includes a valve body, the valve body has a sliding cavity inside, the inner wall of the sliding cavity has a sliding groove, the inner wall of the sliding groove has a valve core for opening and closing the valve body port slidably connected, and a spring for resetting the valve core is installed inside the sliding groove. The purpose of the above configuration is that when the second airbag is squeezed, the gas inside the second airbag pushes the valve core, the valve core slides along the sliding groove, and squeezes the spring. At this time, the valve core is pushed by the gas and subjected to the tension of the spring. The valve core is located in the middle of the sliding cavity. The diameter of the sliding cavity is larger than the diameter of the valve body port, and the diameter of the valve core is smaller than the diameter of the sliding cavity. Therefore, the gas is discharged through the gap between the sliding cavity and the valve core.

[0013] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) By setting up the first airbag and foam pad, when the monitor is about to be hit, the outer shell is hit first, and then the outer shell squeezes the foam pad. During this process, the foam pad buffers and absorbs the impact on the outer shell, thereby protecting the monitor. When the second airbag is squeezed, the gas inside is discharged through the one-way valve. The two one-way valves inflate the first airbag through the first air tube and the intubation tube. After the first airbag is filled with gas, it expands and protects the end of the monitor.

[0014] (2) With the first airbag and through hole, when the second airbag is squeezed, the gas inside is discharged through the one-way valve. Two one-way valves are discharged through the second air pipe and several air outlets. The airflow passes through the foam pad and through the through hole of the foam pad to dissipate heat from the monitor.

[0015] Of course, any product implementing this invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description
